GeForce RTX 2080 (móvel) vs Quadro P6000: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2080 (móvel)

2019

Why buy it

  • Costs $4,999 less on MSRP ($1,000 MSRP vs $5,999 MSRP).
  • Delivers 480.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 15.0 vs 2.6 G3D/$ ($1,000 MSRP vs $5,999 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 150W instead of 250W, a 100W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro P6000 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 23 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Quadro P6000

2016

Why buy it

  • 6.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 193% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (23 GB vs 8 GB).

Trade-offs

  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • 2016 hardware with 23 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 499.9% HIGHER MSRP
    $5,999 MSRPvs$1,000 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 2.6 vs 15.0 G3D/$ ($5,999 MSRP vs $1,000 MSRP).
  • 66.7% higher power demand at 250W vs 150W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Quadro P6000 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 6.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.3% in PassMark G3D (15,512 vs 15,014), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2080 (móvel) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 16nm, 46 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2080 (móvel) makes the most sense to buy today. It is $4,999 cheaper on MSRP at $1,000 vs $5,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 480.6% (15.0 vs 2.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Quadro P6000 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
